WHEN DID YOU REALIZE CONSTRUCTION WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU?
When I transitioned from the Military to a Civilian Job, I started working on projects for the local government. Interacting with the public, developing schedules, and enhancing the community is something that I realized I had a great passion for. The rest is history!

HOW DID YOUR JOURNEY WITH O A K BEGIN?
My Journey with O‑A‑K started at a local leadership program in Southwest Florida. While attending the program, I was able to learn about the great company O‑A‑K was and how my personal values aligned with my core beliefs.

WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I love spending time with my beautiful wife and two wild children! We like to have a combination of outdoor fun with new, exciting indoor activities!
